AutoCAD Update Course

On the first day of this course you will revise the relevant functionality and commands of 2D drawing and design that are necessary for the exam. You will also have the opportunity to explore updates to the software on the latest release.

At the end of the first day you will be given access to a practice paper so that you feel
confident for the exam, which will take place on the following morning. The Autodesk
Certified User exam consists of 30 questions combining multiple choice, matching,
point-and-click (hot-spot), and performance-based question types to ensure students
understand and can effectively use AutoCAD.
